Chirality cyclodextrins, glycopeptide

Because plasma and urine are both aqueous matrixes, reverse-phase or polar organic mode enantiomeric separations are usually preferred as these approaches usually requires less elaborate sample preparation. Protein-, cyclodextrin-, and macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phases are the most commonly employed CSPs in the reverse phase mode. Also reverse phase and polar organic mode are more compatible mobile phases for mass spectrometers using electrospray ionization. Normal phase enantiomeric separations require more sample preparation (usually with at least one evaporation-to-dryness step). Therefore, normal phase CSPs are only used when a satisfactory enantiomeric separation cannot be obtained in reverse phase or polar organic mode. 

In an attempt to change and broaden the capabilities of the vancomycin CSP, the glycopeptide was derivatized with (R)- and (S )-(l-naphthylethyl) isocyanate (NEIC) and then bonded to a silica-gel support [48]. A variety of chiral compounds was tested on the two composite stationary phases and the results were compared with the ones obtained using the underivatized vancomycin CSP. The advantages of the NEIC derivatization were not as obvious or substantial as they were in the case of cyclodextrin phases [49]. Moreover, the exact chemical structures of the synthesized NEIC derivatives of vancomycin were not reported.

The most popular and commonly used chiral stationary phases (CSPs) are polysaccharides, cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotics, Pirkle types, proteins, ligand exchangers, and crown ether based. The art of the chiral resolution on these CSPs has been discussed in detail in Chapters 2-8, respectively. Apart from these CSPs, the chiral resolutions of some racemic compounds have also been reported on other CSPs containing different chiral molecules and polymers. These other types of CSP are based on the use of chiral molecules such as alkaloids, amides, amines, acids, and synthetic polymers. These CSPs have proved to be very useful for the chiral resolutions due to some specific requirements. Moreover, the chiral resolution can be predicted on the CSPs obtained by the molecular imprinted techniques. The chiral resolution on these miscellaneous CSPs using liquid chromatography is discussed in this chapter. 

The chiral recognition mechanisms in NLC and NCE devices are similar to conventional liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis with chiral mobile phase additives. It is important to note here that, to date, no chiral stationary phase has been developed in microfluidic devices. As discussed above polysaccharides, cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotics, proteins, crown ethers, ligand exchangers, and Pirkle s type molecules are the most commonly used chiral selectors.

Chiral mobile phase additives provide a more versatile and cost-effective approach for enantiomer separations in thin-layer chromatography. Typically, chemically bonded layers with cyclodextrin and its derivatives, bovine serum albumin, or macrocyclic glycopeptides are used as chiral additives in the reversed-phase mode [59,60,172-178]. For [5- and y-cyclodextrins and their derivatives, a 0.1 to 0.5 M aqueous methanol or acetonitrile solution of the chiral selector is used as the mobile phase. Bovine serum albumin is generally used at concentrations of 1-8 % (w/v) in an aqueous acetate buffer of pH 5 to 7 or in a 0.5 M acetic acid solution, in either case with from 3-40 % (v/v) propan-2-ol (or another aliphatic alcohol), added to control retention. Enantioselectivity usually increases with an increase in concentration of the chiral selector, and may be non existent at low concentrations of the chiral selector.

As in the case of chromatography, a chiral selector is also required in CE for enantiomeric resolution. Generally, suitable chiral compounds are used in the background electrolyte (BGE) as additives and hence are called chiral selectors or chiral BGE additives. There are only a few pubhcations available that deal with the chiral resolution on a capillary coated with the chiral selector in CE. The analysis of the chiral pollutants discussed in this entry is restricted only to the use of chiral selectors in the BGE. The most commonly used chiral BGE additives are cyclodextrins (CDs), macro-cychc glycopeptide antibiotics, proteins, crown ethers, hgand exchangers, and alkaloids. A hst of these chiral BGE additives is presented in Table 1. 

In 1971, Davankov et al. achieved the first baseline separation of enantiomers using a small molecule-based CSP consisting of L-proline [1], Since then, a wide range of chiral small compounds, which include amino acids, cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptides, cinchona alkaloids, crown ethers, jt-basic or rt-acidic aromatic compounds, etc., have been used as CSPs [2—6], On the other hand, the polymer-based CSPs are further divided into two categories, i.e., synthetic and natural chiral polymers [7, 8]. Typical examples of the synthetic polymers are molecularly imprinted polymer gels, poly(meth)acrylamides, polymethacrylates, polymaleimides, and polyamides, and those of the natural polymers include polysaccharide derivatives and proteins.

There are many classes of CSPs applicable in different mobile-phase modes. In particular, CSPs based on derivatized polysaccharides, native and derivatized cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptides, and Pirkle-type chiral selectors operate quite well in four separation modes, i.e RP, polar organic phase, NP, and super- or subcritical fluid chromatography (SFC) conditions. It is common that a chiral compound can be separated on the same CSP in more than one separation mode [58, 160, 166, 170-176]. For example, Nutlin-3, a small molecule antagonist of MDM2, has been baseline resolved from its enantiomer in all four mobile-phase conditions (Fig. 16) [170]. Multimodal enantioseparation on the same CSP would be greatly beneflcial for chiral method development in pharmaceutical industry.
